With multiple credit cards, checking accounts, loans and assets it is nearly impossible to keep track of where we stand financially. One of my favorite websites I am constantly using and monitoring is www.mint.com, which is a free no-gimmick secure personal finance website. Mint.com consolidates all of your financial accounts into one platform for easy viewing. For instance, my own mint.com account automatically updates my cash, credit card debts, student loans, car loans, investment accounts, and property for simple viewing. It allows me to set categorized budgets, automatically categorizes spending across all accounts, and shows where I am at with each budget across all accounts. It also shows me my net worth, and provides recommendations of ways I can save money, which is how the site makes money. I would recommend www.mint.com to anyone who is serious about their personal finances.
Please send me an email at pat.investedblog@gmail.com with any ideas or topics you would like to hear about in the future or have questions about. I'm considering writing my next blog about either choosing a discount broker, or simplifying the concept of derivatives for new investors. I'm open to discuss anything to do with investing or economics so let me know what you want to hear. Thank you
